The Bengal Warriorz and the Gujarat Giants will battle it out in the second match of the Pro Kabaddi League Season11 double-header on Wednesday, November 27, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
Both teams are deep in the bottom half of the points table, with the Warriorz in 10th, with three wins and two ties in 12 matches, while the Giants are four points behind them in eleventh, with only three wins and one tie to their name in 13 matches.
The Warriorz come into this one on the back of a heavy 34-51 defeat to the Puneri Paltan, and have lost five games on the bounce. In contrast, the Giants have fared better, winning two and tying one of their last five, with a close 31-29 triumph over the Telugu Titans on Saturday in their previous game.

This bottom-of-the-table clash could be quite the spectacle. Let's look at three Dream11 surprise picks for this fixture.
BEN vs GUJ Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match
#3 Nitesh Kumar (DEF) (BEN)
One of the senior-most players in the Bengal Warriorz side, right-corner Nitesh Kumar could return to the starting 7 in place of Hem Raj for this fixture. His experience and high points ceiling could make him a potent Dream11 surprise option tonight.
Nitesh has done a decent job this season, scoring 21 tackle points and two raid points in 10 appearances. While Hem Raj has been starting the last couple of outings, his performances haven't really been up to the mark, with Nitesh getting subbed on halfway through their last match against the Paltan.
He could be a powerful Dream11 option for this match.
#2 Sushil Kambrekar (ALL) (BEN)
A player who didn't start in the Bengal Warriorz' last outing, raiding all-rounder Sushil Kambrekar could be a difference-maker and a game-changer for his side if he earns a start tonight. His Super Raid and consequent Super 10 against the Puneri Paltan remains one of the best individual performances in PKL 11, and it's surprising to see the Warriorz not backing him despite such efforts.
The energetic and electric raider who also has a good eye for a tackle has scored 34 raid points and 10 tackle points in 10 appearances this season, and could add more to his tally in this match.
He could be a solid Dream11 surprise pick.
#1 Sombir (DEF) (GUJ)
To round out the trio of Dream11 surprise picks that didn't start their respective teams' previous matches is the Gujarat Giants' first-choice right-corner at the start of this season, Sombir. Sombir was the Giants' best player in the initial stages of the season but his form soon tapered off as he was replaced by all-rounder Himanshu.
However, the latter's form has seen a dip in recent matches, and it was Sombir who stepped in to score three crucial tackle points to help the Giants win 31-29 against the Telugu Titans in their most recent fixture. His defensive numbers of 19 tackle points in eight appearances are as solid as you can get, and he could be a stellar Dream11 option if he makes it to the starting 7.
